Scatter plots, sparklines, and heat maps are also commonly used graphs. Scatter plots highlight correlational data and relationships between items. Scatter plots reveal the relationship between variables through the general shape of the graph. Positive relationships can be seen by the slope of the line and provides information. Adding a line makes it clearer that the data is showing a trend. Scatter plots are best for showing correlated data and comparing two different variables. Design considerations for scatter plots are the design of the plots themselves, spacing of the plots, and color. Let's take a look at this example's scatter plot from NASA. The plots are difficult to see. In this update, the plot is heavier and the graph is easier to read. Another…
